I took the NYC TV/Movie tour with Max on a somewhat rainy January morning. I really enjoyed the tour! It was a nice break from the constant walking I had been doing since arriving in NYC. We drove to several areas of the city to see movie/tv locations. Max was very friendly and funny. I liked that he showed scenes from the tv show/movie on the bus before/after we passed the actual areas in the city. We got out at three locations. Unfortunately, the Ghostbusters stop is under a lot of construction so if you are going on this tour in the near future, set your expectations low for that stop. My favorite was the Friends apartment, since I'm a huge Friends fan. Since you do only stop to get off the bus three times, you can't really take photos or anything like that as you drive by. If that is important to you, a walking tour would probably be a better option, which they also offer.

Loved it - Scott was awesome! Very informative, funny, great tour guide. The tour takes about 2.5 to 3 hours but well worth it. There are roughly three stops that are short walks.

This was truly the best tour. We bought 2 others and they were awful. We had reservations and they had our seats saved when we got there. We went to the wrong corner of the intersection, buy they waited, so plan ahead and purchase. The tour allows you to see so many areas of NYC. They take you to landmarks that were in movies and tv shows. They have a TV onboard and as you approach, they give you the background for this spot, and then run a clip. So awesome! They even handed out Tootsie pops and black and white cookies on our tour. Ryan Shibley was very fun and has several shows he has been on. He is also a stunt man. Highly recommend and ask for Ryan.
